Det Con Adele Coulter from GMP’s Stockport team said: “We are keen to identify the man in the pictures. Although they are blurry, we hope someone may recognise him.

“We believe the same man could be responsible for a similar robbery the previous day on Thursday, March 16, at Pressed For Time on Berrycroft Lane in Bredbury. Staff were forced to open the till and give the man cash.

“Luckily no one was hurt in either robbery, however victims were left shaken by the terrifying incidents.”
